ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH TEXTURED ZIRCONIA-BASED COMPONENTS

Abstract:

Textured enclosure components formed from zirconia-based ceramics are disclosed. The texture of the enclosure component can give a matte appearance to an exterior surface of an electronic device. The texture of the enclosure component may also be configured so that it has one or more tactile properties suitable for use as a wearable device and can be readily cleaned.
